About Ethelred Nursery School and Children's Centre

Ethelred Nursery School and Children's Centre holds the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its latest ungraded inspection in July 2024, inspectors confirmed the school remains Outstanding, though they noted some concerns that will be followed up in a graded inspection. The school's early years provision and leadership and management were both judged Outstanding in the previous graded inspection of January 2015. This places Ethelred among an elite group in Lambeth: of the five state nursery schools in the local authority, only four hold an Outstanding rating. The nearest other Outstanding nursery is Triangle Nursery School, 3.8 kilometres away. With just 91 pupils on roll, the school operates at an intimate scale, and its high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 37 per cent — suggests it serves a diverse and economically mixed community.
